curious how it compares to my stigmata...
Jenson USA says that the frame only is 1100 grams. They say the frame, fork, axles, headset and seatpost collar together weigh 1850g.

The Stigmata is such a nice looking bike. Brake hose routing inside the fork is a really nice feature.

Get 2 cages on a bike and thats .7-.9oz weight saved over multiple Ibera cages!
Arundel Dave-O cages are available for as little as $20. A very patient man might even come across the correct color and finish at close to that price.
This build is helping me learn patience, and patience is more valuable than any bike.
King Cages are nice too.

Are you using it with a Shimano GS derailleur? If so then do you need a Wolftooth or did you just turn the B screw all the way?
I also ride fixed gear and sometimes just having gears at all is a treat.
